Spirit of Truth/The Bible on Trial

What do you believe? This seems a simple question, but the answers are certainly not simple if what you believe will affect your eternal life. If you ask this question of a Christian one of the answers that you will receive will be that the person believes they are saved by grace through faith. So in reality faith and belief go hand in hand for most Christians; the more faith needed to justify pro...

At first glance, it would seem to be presumptuous to Christians for anyone to feel the need to 'test the Bible for Truth'. This would 'seem' to indicate that truth is not actually IN the Bible, and this is simply not true. BUT (a conjucntion that modifies that which came before), while there certainly is truth in the Bible, there is also lies? WHAT? How can you possibly say that? God would never a...

Timing is everything~ Have you heard the expression that "Timing is Everything"? The idea the everything that happens does so at the 'proper time' is a common theme in the words of Jesus when He was speaking about judgment. "But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his hou...

This past week our big tom cat, Andy, went out of the house for what we thought was his usual night time rounds, and he didn't come back. One day, then two days, then three; at which time my wife and I really started to become worried. By the end of the fourth day we had all but given up hope of Andy coming back. One reason that we thought this is because  there have been coyotes seen on the stree...

Join us for an inspiring and dynamic study into truth. We will be on air at the top of the hour. See you then.

The only way to come to a complete understanding of truth is to agree that there actually is an understanding of truth that is complete. Another critical factor in understanding truth is to acknowledge that the origin of truth is outside of you, and that truth needs to be inside of you to have meaning and bring purpose in life. You must admit that Truth is not a feeling or an emotion, but it is an...

Believe the Evidence~ Recently we have heard people say, "I believe her", or "I believe him", which is the traditional 'he said, she said' senario that has plagued these recent events in the United States Senate. We have heard some women say that anyone, especially men, that do not believe whatever a woman say about having been sexually accosted is morally bankrupt, leaving men open to slander and...

Join Spirit of Truth Ministry for our Flag Ship program, The Bible On Trial. This program tests the words of Jesus that He gave to His own eyewitness disciples against the words of those that claim to have been sent by God. This will challenge your thinking on how truth is found and applied in our lives.

Liar, Liar . . . Can you recognize a liar when you see or hear one? Sometimes it is difficult to equate what you see with what you hear. With an accomplished liar the words seem so smooth and comforting, and the look so confident and honest, that you get sucked into the looking glass and don't even know it.  One way of understanding what you are experiencing is to look at the body language of the...

Never in the history of the world is it more importat to know the differences between those that love the truth, and those that love lies they believe to be true than right now. We have just seen this drmatically play out in the Senate of the United States where one side has with malace of forethought attempted to destroy an honorable man in favor of a political position. And whatever your politic...

My daughter and her husband are moving house. They are moving from a one bedroom apartment into a two bedroom single family dwelling. They have actually been moving for several days, a little at a time, but they are making a push this weekend to get the big things moved pretty much in 'one fell swoop'. And yet even with friends with young backs (and dear old dad and mom) helping, it is hard work m...

Running Out~        When I was in collage many years ago my uncle came on campus as an instructor/associate professor, so I just had to take one of his classes, just to be able to say years later that Uncle Paul was my professor. He taught symantics, and I needed an upper level English class, so it was a perfect fit. It was a real eyeopener in two regards; I didn't know that he was a brilliant tea...

The Process of Sanctification~ "But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God." John 3:21. Modern Christianity teaches that you learn to practice the truth AFTER you come to the light, and that light is Christ Jesus. It also teaches that the 'practice' of truth is simply declaring that you love Jesus, and accept the blood of Hi...

False Humility~ One of the most important lessons that we must learn from the life and teaching of Jesus is that (as with Him) we must live, think and believe (by knowledge) in something that is bigger, more important, and OUTSIDE of us. The humility that Jesus exhibited while in mission here on earth stemmed from the fact that He came to do the will of His Father in Heaven. That 'will' was to "te...

Practical Righteousness~ "One man's 'magic' is another man's engineering. 'Supernatural' is a null word." R.A. Heinlein. I was thinking about the miracles of Jesus, and this quote popped into my head. I love the writing of Heinlein; it was reading his stories when I was in 7th and 8th grade that got me interested, really interested, in science. It also got me interested in deciphering the engineer...

Preserves ~ I just finished making 15-1/2 pints of peach preserves. All 15 of the Ball jars 'clicked', which means that after processing as the jars cool the lid clicks, which indicates that the lid has sealed properly, and the peach jam has indeed been preserved. Now you might think that I am going to use the fact that I followed the recipe and the canning instructions precisely, and that is what...

We live in perilous times! We live in interesting times. There is an ancient Chinese curse which says, "May you live in interesting times!"  This statement is a curse because if the times are interesting they are also dangerous.  End time prophecy in the Bible shows that the generation that will live through the events of the end as depicted in Daniel and Revelation are going to change the world i...

I have a friend that is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, and what I have notice is something that I am also seeing in her husband; they are both rising to the occasion and simply doing what it takes to defeat the disease. They are not whining or feeling sorry for themselves; they are not complaining how 'hard it is', or how bad the situation has become. All they are doing is getting on with the...

Going live

An Upcoming Wedding~ We just found out today that our son has asked his girlfriend to be his wife, and joy abounds in our household. This has been months in planning, and three days in execution. All did not go completely smoothly, as three nights ago Zach was going to ask Erica's parents for their blessing (he is old fashioned that way), but they could not get to the phone together as her mother...

Impeachment~ There is a lot of talk in the past day or two in the Main Stream Media about impeaching the President of the U.S. based upon the word of a person that has been proven to have lied. What the outcome of this will be is very much up in the air. But there is one thing that is not 'up in the air', and that is that the Words of God as manifest in the Words of Jesus His Son can not ever be i...

Does it seem like the world is changing into a place where it has never been before. Technology with AI and space exploration. Traditional religeous organizations have lost any revelence, if they had any to begin with. We seem to be living in a bizarro world how do we make sense, who can we trust, where do we find the truth. Does God still want anything to do with us? We make sense, or do we, you...

The Revelation of Jesus with Rick Sterling is the continuing saga of a small band of brothers and sisters that defy the odds against bringing the knowledge of the Truth that Jesus brought from Heaven to a world wrapped in the darkness of lies masquerading as light. This team is lead by a man that has dedicated his life to revealing a deception so insidious and convincing that it has fooled the ent...

When you go on a trip you have to pack for the conditions that you will have wherever it is that you are going. It is ludicrous to pack shorts and a bathing suit if you are going snow skiing. It is also rediculous to pack snow skis and a parka if you are going to Hawaii. What you wear where you wear it is important. So is knowing what you must wear to the Wedding Feast of the Lamb. Most Christians...

The Revelation of Jesus with Rick Sterling brought to you by Spirit of Truth Ministry, will be 'on air' at the top of the hour. See you then, for a dynamic and challenging study into Truth, Justice, and the Kingdom of Heaven.
